Karaoke Definitions

Do you enjoy singing along with the radio? Do you dream of getting up on stage and singing to large crowds? If so, then you will probably enjoy karaoke. It is a type of entertainment where singers can sing along with the music by using a microphone, and an amplifier. Lyrics to the songs are provided on a video screen for the singer to read, as in a sing-along format. In America karaoke is often used at a party, a bar or clubs, but in Japan, where it originated from, karaoke is everywhere. These are some terms associated with karaoke.

Karaoke Machine – A basic karaoke machine system will have a music player, a microphone, a way to alter pitch (this helps some singers sound better on certain songs),an audio output system and a screen that displays the lyrics and/or video. They can come in a variety of formats, such as CD+G, DVD, VCD and Laser disc.

Karaoke Tracks – Music songs specially made for karaoke, where the main vocal track has been removed. These are usually popular hit songs and chartbusters that have been altered for karaoke use. At one time most karaoke tracks were on CDs but now they can also be downloaded from the computer using the internet.

KJ – Short for Karaoke Jockey. A KJ is similar to a DJ, except a KJ manages and plays karaoke songs for a party or venue. They will announce the song titles and direct turns at the microphone.

Movioke – Similar to karaoke, except instead of songs, movioke allows people to re-enact scenes from popular movies by using software that allows for screen freezing and blanking.
